Error in Convert.ToDateTime [duplicate]

I have the following code:

public JsonResult salvaPaciente(string cns, string sexo, string dataNasc, string nome, string raca,
                                    string cep, string ibge, string logradouro, string endereco, string numero,
                                    string complemento, string bairro, string telefone, string email)
    {
        byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-8").GetBytes(nome);
        nome = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

        paciente oPaciente = new paciente()
        {
            bairro = bairro,
            cep = cep,
            cns = cns,
            complemento = complemento,
            dataNasc = Convert.ToDateTime(dataNasc),
            email = email == "" ? " " : email,
            endereco = endereco,
            ibge = ibge,
            logradouro = logradouro,
            nacionalidade = "010",
            nomePaciente = nome,
            numero = numero,
            raca = raca,
            sexo = sexo,
            telefone = telefone
        };
        modelOff.pacientes.Add(oPaciente);
        try
        {
            modelOff.SaveChanges();
            return Json("sim", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        catch
        {
            return Json("nao", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }

It worked normally and stopped working at all with the following error:

  

[FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

The string dataNasc is '24 / 06/1979 '
